18th EUTIC International Conference
DIGITAL HUMANISM AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
« Chaque homme porte la forme entière de l’humaine condition ».
Montaigne, Essais, livre III, 2
Today, more than ever, digital technologies are the subject of intense debate due to their rapid development, whether in the public and professional domains or in everyday life. At the pace of incessant innovation, the nature and quality of equipments have evolved rapidly, profoundly changing people’s practices in just a few years.
They promote speed, efficiency and performance, but they are not just tools, as their scope is broader. The amount of information conveyed, processed and transferred has increased exponentially, leading to transformations in terms of usage. Visibility on the networks has become a “proof” of both existence and the ability to be productive. Accessibility, connectivity, mobility and informational ubiquity via digital technologies are now the criteria for success in the world of work and economic and cultural activities.
The fundamental question is that of the place of humans in these processes, in relation to the technologies they have created, in relation to their fellow human beings, and in relation to their surrounding universe. Amidst cutting-edge innovations linked to digital technology, should we see the announcement of an imminent enslavement to algorithms and robots of all kinds? What is the place of Humanism in this evolution? What is the meaning given by humans to digital activity in human work?
EUTIC2023 is an opportunity to re-examine the changes that the development of digital technology has brought about in societies. It is a form of paradox: in order to ensure their own development, societies have included digital technologies in most of their activities, but at the same time this has led to profound changes in their way of working to the point of fearing their endangerment. For centuries, humans have been trying to surpass their technical performance. The risk is to lose control and be overwhelmed by the systems and objects humans have created, notably since the development of computers, networks and artificial intelligence.
The epidemiological, climatic, political and ideological crises that we are currently experiencing serve as revelations and show the vital importance of returning to fundamental values in order to regain a balance in our relationships with the environment in which we live and with our fellow human beings in order to fully assume our humanity. Following Claude Lévi-Strauss (2011) who highlighted three forms of humanism, a fourth humanism is emerging, ‘digital humanism’ (Doueihi 2012), advocating human and ethical values in a world undergoing profound change.
The approach may seem difficult to those who consider that the digital world and humanism could be antagonistic or even irreconcilable. However, many ICT-based projects manage to put the human component and meaning back into the digital world or the use of digital technology for the benefit of humanity, while at the same time demonstrating their effectiveness: by encouraging the expression of opinions (citizen journalism, blogs, social networks, forums); by proposing an alternative approach to developing collaborative practices (Communs, third places, Fab-Labs); by encouraging autonomy, a sense of responsibility and initiative, as well as cooperation and solidarity (microblogs, syndication, participative and cooperative models). We are all aware that there is a flip side to the coin and that there is a permanent risk of abuse and misuse. It is of course important to ensure that all these actions are regulated.
The concept of social sustainability encompasses concepts such as commitment, responsibility, cooperation and development, interchange, ethics, and human adaptation. It aims to meet the demands of justice and democracy. The sustainability principle is therefore committed to the survival of society itself, for the continuity of the relationships and fundamental notions that establish dimensions of individuals’ lives in society. In times of crisis, it is clear that to be socially sustainable, developments must provide satisfactory material conditions, with provisions for health, education, and access to goods, so that everyone has a sense of security, dignity and belongingness to a community. All these elements are inseparable from the environmental resources needed to sustain life, health, and well-being (Dugarova, E., Utting, P., Cook, S., 2015).
In each of its international conferences, the EUTIC network endeavours to propose themes that are fully in line with current events, aiming to mobilise the interdisciplinarity of specialists and the participation of speakers who are strongly involved in the field. The richness and diversity of the contributions will allow for the broadening of each person’s perspectives with a vision of broad-mindedness and international cooperation.
Several areas will be covered in the presentations, workshops and round tables. This is a non-exhaustive list:
- Humanism and digital uses in the territories
- Social sustainability and environmental protection
- Development of human potential and well-being at work
- Digital uses for vulnerable populations
- Governance, ethics and management of organisations
- Social commitment, cooperation and volunteering
- Remote or face-to-face work, the meaning of the activity in question.
- Digital training and development dynamics
- Socio-economic developments and collective intelligence
- Interculturality and digital ecosystems
- Connected objects, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and intelligence factory(s)
- Learning systems in the 21st century
- Ethics of resource outsourcing, cloud computing, open data, open archives
Two round tables with professionals and academics will be organised in the programme :
- Humanism and self-reflection in the field of prisons (Erasmus and Butterfly Programme)
- Eco-civic engagement and environmental protection
The scientific committee will carefully verify that the theoretical and empirical contributions in the proposed papers are carefully presented in a rigorously established methodology. The plenary lectures, round tables and poster presentations will additionally offer a variety of approaches.
